Default Double AB Faction Weekend

During the upcoming weekend—September 15th through 17th—Alliance Battles will receive a boost. You'll receive double Balthazar faction for all kills, double Kurzick/Luxon faction for all kills, and double Kurzick/Luxon faction for all wins. In addition, the battle line movement will be accelerated and the line will be seen to shift hourly, rather than every three hours. Join in the fun starting at Noon PDT on Friday, September 15th.
But I wanted double Ecto/Shards!

In the meantime, increasing the acceleration of the line is a very, very bad idea. Watch Kurzicks own all of the Jade Sea.

Also, Jade and Amber prices will be going to hell. Sell now. Go.

The Shard and Amber prices will certainly drop. Probably dropping right now.

I certainly hope that if ANET doubles the Alliance Battle faction that they realize more people will be playing. I hope ANET at least doubles the number of simultaneous games, or else you will be waiting 30 minutes or more a game.

I was hoping for something like this about a month ago..I've got all the Kurzick armor I could ever need..

Although since it looks like HA has been dropping off a little in activity as of late maybe I'll try some AB again. I doubt Ill be able to get into a game..ever though.

I thought waiting was caused by lack of opponent (or allied teams). When it was next to impossible to get Kurzick games I played as a guest for Luxon and the wait was around 5 seconds. There are far more Kurzicks than Luxons.

To think that farming Amber and Jadeite used to be my main means of getting cash.

Oh well, I guess I'll go back to farming... yay for grind as opposed to earning money by having fun =P

Oh noes! The game is ruined because some imaginary line has moved all the way to one side of the map! Rare materials are going to be cheap! oh no!

They need to double the faction cap from 10k to 20k, otherwise you might have to "cash out" after only 4 games and break up your group.

No. I can't stand weekends specials as I never take part in them always working on something else.

I hope our hosts prepare for the massive influx of players wanting to do AB's, otherwise there will be way too many "No opposing party joined. Reseting countdown timer." notices and it will take twice as long to get the double faction! (Ironic, isn't it? )

...They already said it also applies to kills. No word on whether the bonus you get at the end of the round if you lose will be affected, but I suspect that's an oversight/poor wording.

In other news, I think I'll swap over to Luxonville for the weekend. My "alliance" consists of myself and my one-man vanity guild, and I've got all the 15K Kurzick I need in the immediate future. So why wait for games when I could be guaranteed instant access on the underpopulated side?

Wow, we saw those amber and jade drop to 400 or less a pop during competitive weekend with FA/JQ... Now it only got back up closer to the old meta, they bring this one... Sell all your jade amber now! Before they get really really REALLY cheap by the end of this weekend.
